Update frontend to use Vite native env config

Amy Maule requested to merge 76-frontend-env-config into dev
  • Remove .env file from tracking (it will still work the same, but git will no longer track it and it will no longer appear on Gitlab)
  • Replace all process.env imports with import.meta.env
  • Remove comments related to previous import config that are no longer needed. A couple of comments talked about cleaning up references to REACT_APP_ env variables before deploying to prod - the prod instance will store the new VITE_ prefixed environment variables (which is what we want going forward, no need for clean up) - when merging this, remember to update these variable names in production
  • Add a .env.example to the frontend that shows the current environment variables that should be updated each time a new envar is added
  • Ensure that VITE_DEBUG_LOGGING can now be set to true/false and it will work as intended
  • Closes #76 (closed)
